Free-to-enter medieval fortified manor-house ruins reached by a short woodland walk, with dogs welcome on leads.
The site is open during reasonable daylight hours and the adjacent college closes the access-road gates at dusk. There are no visitor facilities, and dogs should be kept away from low walls and uneven areas.
Know before you go
Confirm the current opening hours, any booking requirements and the specific areas your dog can use. A dog-friendly listing is not a promise of access to every part of a venue.
